The Department of English within the Faculty of Humanities at The Hong Kong

for the professional workplace.  Our focus areas are professional

in Languages in Professional Contexts, English for Specific Purposes, and

homepage at http://www.engl.polyu.edu.hk/, including information about the key
areas of research at

The Department is now inviting applications for the position of Assistant
Professor in European Studies/English Language Studies.  Priority will be
given to candidates whose research expertise and teaching experience are
within European Studies (European languages, applied linguistics, and/or
cultural studies), and who can also teach some of the English language
subjects offered by the Department.

The appointee will be required to (a) teach subjects in European Studies and
English Language Studies at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels; (b)
contribute to curriculum design and materials development; (c) supervise
undergraduate and postgraduate student projects (including PhD supervision);
(d) actively conduct research in the Department’s research areas and
contribute to the development of its research strengths; and (e) assist in the
administration of the Department.

Applicants should have (a) a PhD degree in some aspect of European Studies,
Applied Linguistics, or English Language Studies; (b) a recognised teaching
qualification; (c) post-qualification teaching experience at tertiary level,
including teaching subjects relevant to European Studies/English Language
Studies, with a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching; (d) an
excellent track record of published research, including experience in
project-based research and grant applications; and (e) native/near-native
competence in English, and excellent English communication skills.

Preference will be given to candidates whose research orientations can
contribute to the Department’s development of its key areas of research. 
Certain abilities and areas of expertise will also be considered as added
strengths, such as the ability to speak French and/or German and experience in
teaching one or more of these languages.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
